I'm new to Samsung and was wondering how to tell if your bootloader is unlocked? Also what do you hold down to get into it? On my HTC rezound all you did was hold power and volume down.
Thanks in advance!

Galaxy SIII's bootloader is locked until you unlock it. And I don't know what you mean "get into it" The way I understand is that the bootloader is just a script that runs when you turn your phone on.
Yeah I ran the script and just wanted to verify it was successful.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about bootloader mode. But I honestly don't know if our phone has that or not. Anyway. You should download an app from the play store called EZ Unlock. It takes like a nanosecond to unlock your bootloader (literally). Once you do that you should be able to flash non kexec kernels. Like Scotts CleanKernel.

Here is the link. It is a file you have to flash in Odin, so if any devs want to make this into a ROM I would be pleased to see one.
Edit: found out this was international version, that is why link is gone. If anyone wants the international link please PM me. Sorry guys...

Point of clarification.

this is the perfect response.
My friend was flashing his phone and flashed an image for the wrong model.
Does anyone know if the boot loader can be flashed via an SD Card on a verizon phone such as mentioned in the documentation floating around for the I9300?
Thanks,
Kenny

Yup. You need a jtag service. They usually run 50 to 60 bucks. That's pretty much your only option.

Use this method if you are on the old updates, if you are on the MF1 update. just pop in the micro sim from AT&T and select GSM. You can edit the APN on the latest update. but no 3G
Everything should work

I'm thinking that the menu won't show in older versions. Going by the guide IF you're not on the MF1 update would be the best way.

You can always try. I've never tried anything outside of LiquidSmooth v2.7. I just got my S3 a week ago. Haha. I'm sure it should work on any AOSP or AOKP ROM... maybe. :what:

Actually, now that I'm looking back on the guide and in the video... they do it on the stock TouchWiz ROM.
I've seen somewhere, unfortunately I can't recall where, that you can do it on AOSP and AOKP ROMs too. Hmm... maybe ask on the thread of the ROM and someone should be able to tell you.
And make sure your friend knows that if he does get it working that he will have edge data. He may be better off trading his S3 for an AT&T one.
